CZ - now I get it...

[Bikebreath]

How do you like the 97? It's on my shortlist

Only shot it once in prep for getting set up for IDPA. Shot fine. I've been shooting 9mm's for years, so it was different for me. My reloads I tested all shot decent, but some of those failed to ignite. Did a quick search...others have had the same issue, but factory ammo works fine. It's not a problem with my CZ85 Combat, so I'm baffled.

Called 2A where I got the CZ97 and was told that CZ doesn't approve of reloaded ammo and won't do anything about it, so it's my problem. I'm looking into that and I'm glad I'm not in a hurry. Gunsmith (Dr. Bob at Freestate) told to buy another firing pin so he could check both specs and have a spare when he modifies one of them. Firing pins for CZ97's are backordered. Damn.

Otherwise, it's just as sweet as any CZ shooter.

Is a Rami too big for a pocket?

Just reading specs, I sense that it is.

Yes, I definitely consider it too large for a pocket.

What primers are you using?

 

[BunkerKing]

I'm also trying add more CZ in my life. Bought an SP-01 from 2A back in June. Many more to come.

 

[Bikebreath]

What primers are you using?

Winchester. Dr Bob and I briefly talked about primers and some sit at different depths. We never reach a conclusion on another choice besides Winchester.

ETA: We also discussed springs, so I'm still deciding what to do.

g8tr, I apologize for hijacking your thread, but someone may care about this problem I have with my CZ97 that won't ignite my reloads.

Took it to Dr. Bob yesterday and he thinks the factory spring is rather light and got conformation on that from another employee at Freestate. He's going to shoot it and I'll let you know how it turns out.

g8tr, please continue with the regularly scheduled program

No problem...happy to cede the virtual floor...

Any feed back on the new CZ75 9 mm. Ive seen them rated very high and I am looking for a full size 9 mm

I use Federals when loading for light-trigger-pull guns. All but one of my single-action revolvers have REALLY light triggers and they all go bang with the Federals.

I have a CZ 52 and it is the only pistol that snaps my wrist good. Shoots a 7.62x25 I think and is accurate, sturdy and powerful for a handgun. Also have the 85 Combat and a 97B and two rifles, a .223 and a .270 that I will be selling soon. The rifles are like new and I purchased them when Constitutional closed in May 2014.

So glad this thread exists and I was able to get all the input, currently waiting for HQL to finish and then buying my first CZ soon afterward!

Did you mean the new edition in stainless?

Sigs have much better triggers out of the box, but despite that, CZs shoot tighter groups for most people because of their superb ergonomics and design. They are crazy accurate. I would love to shoot a CZ that has had custom, trigger work done on it.

I have a CZ75D from CGW and it is smooth as butter, he has a back log but its worth the wait IMO.

I am also waiting on my HQL. I am glad the OP posted. CZ 75 is on my list?

That's a nice looking pistol.

There's one at 2A Sales.
